  I can't add much to GoBlue2002's recent, excellent note. Pretty much all his descriptors are apt for describing the bottle I opened tonight. Of the many Navarro Rislings I've tried through the years, this particular bottle, right now is drinking on top of the pile. It's very dry but with intense, exotic fruits and great acidity. It will be an excellent pairing to the VitalChoice Chilean Sea-bass fish sandwiches (made on freshly baked sourdough bread) later tonight. I can't wait.

  Fairly dry for a riesling, also 13.5% abv.
  Green apple, honeysuckle, tropical, lemon, apricot.
  Long finish with a twitch of acidity. Good weight without the sugar.
  Simple finish but with good length. Good food wine.
  Better chilled on a warm day.
  Me - 88, Wife - 90/91

  Light gold. Pretty distinctive rubber, white flowers, yellow apple. Days two and three saw less rubber, more orange blossom. Flavors were nicely concentrated lime and orange, good weight and creamy texture and balance. This turned more toward stone fruit by day three.
  
  I haven’t had many wines at this price that deliver so consistently.

  Light gold color at this point. Had a few of these over the past few months with consistent notes. Lemon and white flower aromas, oily and creamy texture with tangerine, lime, good acid. This is one of the few wines that turned me onto wine (especially whites) five years ago, and happy to report that it is still doing well. Navarro continue to make a really solid riesling year in and year out.

  Some petrol while the bottle was open over 90 minutes. Flat and disappointing to start. Over time, it wasn't as flat as when I opened the bottle. I'd drink up if I were you. Drank this with smoked salmon.
